I work on a Perl web application that is supposed to run a variety of
platforms; Windows/IIS, Windows/Apache, Linux/Apache, FreeBSD/Apache,
etc.  We recently have gone through a big push to re-architect the
product using TTK.  The development has been done on a Windows/IIS
environment.  Now that we are in a testing phase we have loaded the code
onto a Linux/Apache server just to check things out and have run into a
serious problem.  The directive chomping flags [%- and -%] are not
working on the Linux/Apache server whereas they work perfectly on all
the Windows/IIS machines we have in development.  This, of course, is
breaking JavaScript and strings all over the place.

The files were in dos format instead of unix format so we tried
converting all of the templates, .pm, and .cgi files to unix format.
The result was that every TTK directive was pre and post chomped instead
of nothing getting chomped.

I even tried setting the config flags PRE_CHOMP and POST_CHOMP on the
TTK object itself with no affect.

We are running TTK 2.13 on all of the machines.  On the Windows machines
we are running ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 638.

The Linux/Apache box:

Perl 5.6.1

linux Red Hat Linux release 7.3

Apache/1.3.27

Any ideas?
